I have been moody too. Everything irritates me or makes me cry . today I don't feel good. I'm not sure if the morning sickness is just finally hitting me late or if its just a randomly bad day. Im hoping for the latter. Last night I had pulling pains on my lower left that lasted constantly. I'm used to quick twinges but this was never ending. Think its normal??
I think it's normal Rosie. I've had them too on my right side.
Thanks Abi. I assumed it could be normal. Strange to have something new happen after 3 pregnancies!
Test
I have tried to post so many msgs in the couple of days. But they didn't post. Keeps getting deleted - what is going on
Rosie...I know! Everything is different!
Odd- I'm not having issues and I see your post!
longing.for.a.daughter, wow, good luck on selling the house! i couldn't do it with my 2 rug rats. we've decided to move out first before selling b/c we know it can be hell, lol.
futureminime, i hope your best friend is right! i was getting obsessive and started looking into "signs", lol. my toddler randomly said while playing (and we never said anything about baby to him), "I have to go get my sister." DH and I were like...huh?
Rosie, I hope you feel better soon. I have not been feeling great at all today but I got very little sleep last night. I feel that the universe is playing some sort of cosmic joke making sure that my sleep is interrupted as much as possible now. It hasn't even been pregnancy related.
Belle, I have been obsessing over anything pregnancy related, not just possible gender signs. I have been so distracted at work that I have been spending way too much time on these boards and the babycenter boards. It's like all I can think about.
Is it weird that I have no desire to find out gender?? I feel at ease at the moment. I really might be able to make it 33 more weeks without finding out. I think I would be too nervous to be told girl from a scan..that I couldn't trust it and I don't get one of those handy blood tests done. Since its my last baby I really wanted to try thibgs a different way.
Rosie!! Go team green with me!! Lol. We can cheer each other on :) Although I hope yours is a girl even more than I hope mine is ;)
I don't want to know gender this time because I want something different. But I'm lucky in the sense that I don't have a great preference (ill admit I have a *small* one, but super-small). However, I also know it will be hard for me. I don't do surprises well and despite that, I feel it's something I will regret not doing...waiting for that final moment and having my husband tell me what the baby is. I think he needs that moment too. He isn't terribly connected during labor and delivery.
But I have an insane amount of stretching. Whew. I guess four kids, nine pregnancies, in five years will do a number on your body! I had my blood work this morning and will have three more draws each two days apart. Hopefully it shows things are headed in the right direction. My tests look really good. Mine today was almost the same as the control line and I am supposedly 10 DPO. Plus, all of my healthy pregnancies have given me positives at 8-9DPO and all of my not-healthy ones have have 11+. Which is interesting, but seems to be something of a pattern with me. So I hope this follows suit. I hate how nervous I am at the beginning. I even wanted to tell DH in a fun way, but ended up just telling him because I couldn't stop being nervous. Lol. He gets it though.
I think all random stretching and twinges are normal, even if you haven't felt them before. Each pregnancy gets harder on the body and causes new stuff! Sorry a few ladies are feeling yucky. Mine has not come yet. I get a few waves of nausea here and there, mostly over a smell of some sort. But nothing terrible. I am so early though that I know my symptoms won't come for a week or two. Plus, I really think that nursing helps them be milder. Could be my imagination, but I think already having some of those hormones in place helps them not be so dramatic on the body.
In other news, my 14-month-old daughter just slept through the night for the first time last night!! Yahoo :) I hope she makes it a habit!
Hotdogz that is a good way to think of it...my husband really wants that moment so I will do it for him! Besides if it is a girl for me it will be the most amazing moment in the entire world! Happy to hear your daughter slept through the night!!! I also think this bean in sticky for you. A test line that dark at 10dpo!? Must be twins!!!! Lol.
I had this same thing for a few days in a row non-stop (the pulling twinging pain)! It's almost more difficult after you have been pregnant once because you can't help but compare. I have been super dizzy this time around- even before I get out of bed and having sciatica super early on. It's always something!
Oh lala...being dizzy sucks I have gotten dizzy here and there with every pregnancy. I am so sorry about the sciatica I had it very bad with ds3. Hoping to not get it this time around...sooo painful.
Thanks, Longing- it's been terrible having the house to be clean all the time with a showing almost every day and my kids just want to have a lazy summer! Me too! I almost went nuts yesterday bc we got everything all clean for a showing at 2, left the house for the hour, then TWO hours later got a call from the showing service that the realtor was "running behind and need to cancel" grrr...a bit too late! Sorry for the rant and good luck finding out next week!
Thanks abifasc...I had posted a couple pf questions which never went through.
They were about the streching and pulling so the ongoing conversation answered my question in a way :-) this time, I feel much more relaxed and feel that this pregnancy will go full term
I just woke up. I dreamt it was born. The most Beautiful girly face. (Dark eyes long black lashes impossible for us lol) but it was a boy. I was thinking about swaying again.
I guess I think its a boy.
Oh man- prego dreams can be knarly..heartbreaking, funny, scary - all of it. Don't trust those suckers!
I once dreamt that my brothers girlfriend gave birth to a puppy while I was preggo. I don't put a ton of stock into a dream you have about the baby. Our subconsciouses are screwing with us then! Lol.
And gosh, I doubt it's twins! Nor do I particularly want twins. It does seem kinda early for such nice lines. But I figure it probably means I have a strong pregnancy and ill take that (I hope!). But I prefer my bebes one at a time, if I get a choice. (Although I certainly wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, twins would be a blessing!)
(I forget what others said already. I feel like I wanted to respond more. But it's late and I guess I need to head to bed)
Rosieive had the pulls really bad his time! I think it may also have to do with not having tons of time between pregnancies and I've blamed a lot on me just being older;)
I hope you're not sick:( sooo sucks!Quote:

I am sad I won't get that delivery room suprise but I felt I was leaning heavily one direction so it wouldn't be much of a surprise anyway so might as well get some fun ahead of time! Just glad it turned out the way I wanted since I did see!phew:P
Stay strong ladies...;)
Coocoo you are almost down to a double digit count! Yay!
I might have already shared but I had a dream this baby is a girl. The dream was 3 days after attempt so right when the egg was just fertilized. It was so real and my Dh and I were arguing over middle names for her. I hope it comes true!
I don't really believe the dreams either.. (50% chance) but it got me off somehow. it was the most beautiful baby boy I'd ever seen! could never have been mine with black eyelashes and dark eyes.. (or I need to explain something to my DH:omg:) but he was amazing.. the I woke up at 4. and realized.. it was just a dream.. and there I was... thinking.. this is boy nr 4. my dream of a girl is gone... (and another one is out of the question. but I felt right away maybe nr 5?.. as this one is 4yrs apart from his brothers.... )
I was thinking about finding out.. but for me its better to stay team green.
I don't want this pregnancy to stand in focus of the end of my dream..
and ofc the friend who is PG with me will have her girl. and I won't cause thats the way it always works.. NOT for me....
I got a pretty strong BFP at 8 dpo (and when I digged out out the test from 7 dpo from the trash the day after I could actually see something there to) and I have been checked - only one! :-D Got a bit worried as well since 8 dpo is pretty early! Twins are surely fantastic but I don't think my DH would survive it ;-)Quote:

With DS1 I didn't get a BFP until 12DPO and my levels doubled normally. With DS2 I got a very faint BFP at 9DPO and my levels also doubled at the average rate. With DD I got a faint BFP at 8DPO and my levels doubled much more quickly. The same is happening again this time and I'm hoping for another girl.
So, not officially back in this due date group as I'll be due in March not Feb....but I did get finally get my BFP!!! 😀👍
Really, really hoping this is a sticky bean. 💜
Have hope! I am def one of those that would never have this happen to me! Just everyone else! So if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone!!!

bunnygirl, hope it's your girl baking in the oven.
dreams during pregnancy do get a little vivid don't they? i read that it's b/c we can't sleep well, so we often wake up right after the dream (cuz of discomfort or needing to pee etc) with them fresh in our minds. even so, some very sweet dreams though ladies! i dreamt a few days before i got my bfp of a baby elephant visiting me, lol. since then, this baby's theme has been elephants now.
Happy Fourth of July!
Happy 4th of July my American friends.
Congratulations again mumof6
I'm on with the weirdest dream train too. Dreams have been super vivid and def weird
This afternoon I was taking a nap and dreamt that I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who had cleft palate..
Also, is anyone else having a hard time transitioning to normal eating? I amost feel like I'm never hungry and have to force myself to eat. I get nauseous if I don't eat and get even more nauseous when I do eat
Yes, odd, I am! Oddly enough I can't eat meat. Ironic since I couldn't on the LE diet. I was especially nauseous today.
Glad ti hear I'm not the only one abifasc. How are u keeping the nausea under control? Any tips. I'm constantly thirsty so pretty much surviving on water for the most part
I'm not as nauseous as I was for a while...I found pretty pops, lemon drops, and peppermints to help. I threw up today and couldn't shake the nausea afterwards till I drank ginger ale and that helped. It has come in waves. Some days like today I just feel nasty but I have felt pretty good most of the week. I'm also thirsty and drink a lot of water. Gatorade is also refreshing.
Preggy pops*
Thanks abifasc...will try these tips!
I am fast approaching 5 weeks and getting super nervous. I had thick yellow discharge today...is that normal?? Scared to death at this point that I m gonna lose my baby again
Omg!!! Massive congrats!! I'm so excited for you!!! Happy and healthy nine months :)Quote:

I've had two gender dreams this pregnancy. One was true, one was false. I think it's more what's preoccupying your thoughts than actual intuition... easy for me to say now that I'm not worrying, I know!
Actually, that's the funny thing. I'm scheduling my 20 week anatomy scan, and even with the Panorama results, I can't shake the fear that a penis will magically appear for the scan! Sigh, it's some kind of Gender Disappointment PTSD that prevents me from believing she's a girl until I physically SEE a baby girl in front of me! I actually held out a tiny shred of hope that my boys were girls until I saw them after birth, so I'm guessing this won't fully go away until December... silly, I know!
I was able to eat right away after BFP, but then again, this has been the hungriest pregnancy I've ever had. 10 lbs of weight gain, so far and I REALLY want to tone it down now!
Welcome to ALL the new BFPs, for as long as you hang out here :)
Congrats MomofSix! I will be in March with you, but riding on this thread right now since March isn't up :)
And I totally didn't believe mine was a girl until she was born. I had the most obvious potty shot in the history of girl shots (lol) and I was still obsessive every single time (i had an ultrasound) about seeing her girl parts and just KNEW she would come out a boy. But then the funny part was that I labored and delivered her...and it took me more than ten minutes of holding and cuddling and talking to her and all the sudden I was like "Oh, wait, is she really a girl?!" Lol. They assured me that everyone else had seen the parts and would have told me if it wasn't what I was expecting. But it was kinda funny that I totally forgot right then.
My tests aren't increasing as quickly now, which I think is common for me. I vaguely remember my other pregnancies had fast darkening tests and then slightly high betas, but nothing extravagant. I'd bet its just one. We do have twins in our family, but not really genetic ones. Although I know they come out of nowhere too. I prolly won't have an ultrasound til 8 weeks or so. If I can hold out that long. I'm having betas taken already. Ill get my results either Monday or Thursday (depends on if the want to give me two at a time or all four together). I'm hoping for good numbers. I need to stop peeing on tests because I am freaking myself out. Lol.
CooCoo...I never once regretted giving up team green to find out my daughter was on the way. I can totally see how it could backfire though, hence why folks wait! It's a tough call.
MumofSix!!!! YAY!! You were wrong about this month! Must all been that massive pile of baby dust I sent your way. So incredibly happy for you!
You and Hotdogz are not to go anywhere!!! Stay here with us! March is close enough and you've been with us for so long anyway! Congrats again! Wrapped for you xx
Thanks longing.for.a.daughter!! It's still surreal, as I was so sure it just wasn't going to be.. must have been all the baby dust!! 😉💜
Well if that baby dust worked then I'm sending you lots of pink dust now!! 🎀👛👙💗💓💕💖💞💘 saving a little for myself for Tuesdays appointment! Xx
